On behalf of the Minister for Education and Training, I thank the member for some notice of this question. The minister has supplied the following answer - (1)-(2) Research has shown that on-site kindergartens provide children with better access to educational outcomes and a smoother transition in their transfer to primary school. The City of Stirling has also indicated a preference for the Department of Education and Training to take over responsibility for a number of off-site kindergartens in its municipality. The Nollamara Kindergarten is one of these. As a result, the Department of Education and Training will terminate the lease of the Nollamara Kindergarten and the program will transfer to the Nollamara Primary School site in 2007.
